"Buba es un crack, le hace un "sinpa" al barbero italiano y se descojona de los bonobos porque sólo aguantan trece segundos...
¿Qué es esta cosa? una involuntariamente cinemática vacilada sublime dividida en dos partes, que lo mismo introduce a Zappa en el Chamber que a los Art Bears en el más controlado de los caos. Los belgas Hardscore en su tercer disco "Monkey Trial" (Margen, 2004) le vacilan hasta a su sombra, socarrones y afilados, son capaces de pergeñar los arreglos más complicados de toda la avanzadilla Avant Jazz Progresiva europea con una sonrisa en la cara. Es tal su despliegue de facultades que jamás expondría a un músico incipiente a la escucha de éste disco. Bueno, depende a quien...
Una joyica, otra, del catálogo Margen. Si eres capaz de escuchar "Carmine Inspiration" y su deriva deep/easy sin estremecerte cerramos el Arzak cuando tú digas."
Buba is a genius; he pulls a "dine and dash" at the Italian barber and laughs at the bonobos because they only last thirteen seconds... What is this thing? It's an unintentionally cinematic, sublime jest divided into two parts, effortlessly introducing both Zappa into the Chamber and the Art Bears into the most controlled chaos. The Belgians Hardscore, on their third album "Monkey Trial" (Margen, 2004), tease him even in their shadows, wry and sharp. They are capable of devising the most intricate arrangements in the entire vanguard of European Progressive Avant-Jazz, all with a smile on their faces. Their display of skills is so impressive that I would never subject an aspiring musician to listen to this album. Well, it depends on who you ask... A little gem, another one, from the Margen catalog. If you can listen to "Carmine Inspiration" and its deep/easy drift without shuddering, we'll close Arzak whenever you say.

"Frank Nuyts es uno de los grandes! Compositor contemporáneo de sinfonías, sonatas... Y en sus ratos libres hace estas maravillas rodeándose de los mejores. Ahora vuelve con Beat Love Oracle, un proyecto más comedido quizá, de fusión de cámara, como a él le gusta llamarlo, pero igualmente satisfactorio para los hambrientos de creatividad sonora como nosotros. Un par de posts más abajo encontrarás la disección del amigo Carlos sobre este proyecto. Muy pronto disponible en vinilo para los más sibaritas!"
Frank Nuyts is one of the greats! A contemporary composer of symphonies, sonatas... And in his free time, he creates these wonders, surrounded by the best. Now, he returns with "Beat Love Oracle," perhaps a more restrained project, a fusion of chamber music, as he likes to call it, but equally satisfying for those hungry for sonic creativity like us. A couple of posts below, you'll find Carlos's analysis of this project. Coming soon on vinyl for the most discerning enthusiasts!

"Una bárbara barbaridad de los Beat Love Oracle, spin-off de los excitantes Hardscore de Frank Nuyts, editada el año pasado en formato digital y ahora, por fin, en formato físico. El sonido me han prometido que va a ser endemoniadamente leonino. ¿Que a qué diantres suena? A hechizante Jazz libre de aditivos nocivos, a gloria Free y al delicioso resultado de hornear a plácida temperatura las vacilonas y sublimes andanadas de Hardscore sobre lecho de Tim Garland y naparlas con los efluvios del Gary Burton más osado y arrebatador. ¿Debería encargar dos copias por si pierdo una? (Carlos Torrecilla, Kiss That Prog)"
A barbaric marvel from Beat Love Oracle, a spin-off band of the exciting Hardscore by Frank Nuyts, released digitally last year and now finally available in physical format. They've promised me that the sound is going to be devilishly leonine. What on earth does it sound like, you ask? Like enchanting Jazz free from harmful additives, like Free glory and the delicious result of baking the playful and sublime salvos of Hardscore at a tranquil temperature, on the bed of Tim Garland, and drizzling them with the audacious and captivating effusions of Gary Burton. Should I order two copies just in case I lose one? (Carlos Torrecilla, Kiss That Prog)

Lo que ha dicho la prensa especializada
“Todos juntos, y lo de juntos va por acompasados y por la conexión mental casi telepática que demuestran en acción, ponen en funcionamiento “Who’s Counting?”, primer álbum de este cuarteto de “fusión de cámara”…“
las ideas van surgiendo de forma natural y dando lugar a un discurso fluido a veces controladamente excéntrico que se ramifica desde el eclecticismo rock hasta el jazz y la improvisación en solos de mucha altura”. “Zappa, los paisajes de Canterbury y el avant jazz se pasean por aquí”. (La Carne Magazine)
"All together, and the 'together' refers to their synchronized rhythms and the almost telepathic mental connection they demonstrate in action, they set in motion 'Who's Counting?,' the debut album of this 'chamber fusion' quartet..." "Ideas emerge naturally, giving rise to a fluid discourse, at times controlled yet eccentric, branching out from rock eclecticism to jazz and high-flying improvisation solos. 'Zappa, the landscapes of Canterbury, and avant-garde jazz take a stroll here.' (La Carne Magazine)"

"Qué agradable leer la opinión autorizada de aficionados (si digo expertos no les va a gustar) con miles de discos escuchados en su mochila, sobre el "Who's Counting?" de Beat Love Oracle.
"Qué gozadica. Los Beat Love Oracle están llevando el Jazz a cuotas de creatividad inimaginables, coquetean con la Chamber y el más jovial de los RIO's y lo hacen con una sonrisa en la cara. Exuberantes. Son tan buenos y suenan tan frescos... si esto no es Vanguardia nada puede serlo... Uno de mis discos del año sin duda y, por si fuera poco, en vinilo suenan exultantes." (Carlos Torrecilla Abenoza)
"Son tremendos, de lo mejor del año, incluso añadiría que tienen cierta influencia Zappiana. Sorprendentes "
How nice to read the authoritative opinion of fans (if I say experts won't like it) with thousands of records heard in their backpack, about Beat Love Oracle's Counting. ′′ What a joy. The Beat Love Oracle are taking Jazz to unimaginable creativity quotas, flirting with the Chamber and the most jovial of the RIO's and doing so with a smile on their face. Lush. They are so good and sound so fresh... if this isn't Vanguard, nothing can be... One of my albums of the year without a doubt and, if it were little, they sound exultant in vinyl." (Carlos Torrecilla Abenoza) ′′ They are tremendous, of the best of the year, I would even add that they have some Zappian influence Amazing
